Is the a right or wrong way to clean your two year old teeth. Right now I am using a small child toothbrush and brush her teeth much like I would my own. I use just a very little toothpaste because I heard you really one should use very little toothpaste due to the fluoride in it. I will be taking her to her first dental appointment in another month but would like some tips to make sure I am doing all I can for her teeth at home.

I am going on 24 years old and I still have a baby tooth. Here is the thing when I was young I had a loose baby tooth that I was too scared just to pull out. My parents were poor and then did not take me to the dentist for this.

Should I have them filled?

So I took my eight year old son for his yearly dental check up. The dentist use a probe to check for cavities and tooth decay and found five cavities on his baby teeth. He said right now the cavities are all really small but they should be filled. With my dental insurance plan we get from my husband job each filling will cost us $45.00 so that would be a total of $225.00 money we really can not afford at this time.
